How to attend
A single Classic Pass sold at foodandwine.com/classic covers Grand Tastings, seminars and demos - individual events are not sold separately, and passes (well over 1000 EUR) sell out months ahead. Watch for the on-sale announcement in autumn. The real cost is Aspen itself: peak-season hotels push a weekend to several thousand euros per person.
Insider tip
Seminars with cult winemakers book out faster than the Grand Tastings - reserve your seminar schedule the moment the app opens rather than browsing on arrival.
